Monetary compensation inversely proportional to the "cool" factor, eh?

Seriously, there seems to be a growing "artistic" community interested
in incorporating technology in art, either explicitly or behind the
scenes.  We've seen some of these artists here on PICList; those are
the ones with clues.  The general level of technical knowledge in
the word when it comes to really basic electronics and low-level
(microcontroller) programming is ... abysmal (like, you'd think
nearly anyone could figure out how to connect an LED to a battery,
given the information that already exists on the net.  Hah!)

Alas, these are people who can't afford to pay the rates that
people who know a lot about electronics and low level programming
are used to getting, especially as "consultants."  There's probably
a HUGE market for people with rather basic PIC hobbyist backgrounds
to do "consultant" things at about minimum wage.  Or less...
